"American Idol" judge Keith Urban stepped away from his role during the audition process for the next season to be by his wife, Nicole Kidman, after losing her father. 

Nicole chose to send love and thanks for her fans and supporters on her Facebook page. "We would just like to thank everyone for their love and prayers over these past couple of weeks. We are all heartbroken but knowing we are in the hearts and thoughts of others is so comforting. Sending love, Nic and Keith xx," the couple wrote.

Antony Kidman has tragically died from a fall while overseas in Australia. Antony Kidman was an clincal psychologist in Australia but was in Singapore when the fall happened while visiting his other daughter, Antonia.

Our thoughts are with Keith and his family during this difficult time," the "American Idol" Twitter account shared. Lambert joins fellow judges Harry Connick, Jr. and Jennifer Lopez.

Following several films in the early 1990s, she came to worldwide recognition for her performances in Days of Thunder (1990), Far and Away (1992), and Batman Forever (1995). She followed these with other successful films in the late 1990s. Her performance in the musical Moulin Rouge!
